Despite what some may tell you, practitioners of the dismal science are quite welcome here. Well, by some of us, anyway.

Didn't you just, inferentially, libel economists?
Well, we never promised JayPotts a rose garden.

I haven't heard many economist jokes, but I've heard several lawyer jokes. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]

Why did the accountant cross the road?
Because he looked in the file, and that's what he did last year.

Economists are people who are good at math, but lack the personality to be accountants.
Oh, and welcome, Jay.
